Could A Disc Bulge At C6-C7 Lead To The Headaches I Am Experiencing?

default
Posted on Fri, 6 Oct 2023
Question: HI can you compare a cervical catscan in 2015 to a mri in 2016. I was in a car accident in 2016 and I believe my neck got worse. Can you take a look at both reports and let me know?

What could be causing the headaches? In 2015 they do not mention C6-C7 posterior disc bulge or mention that there is a mild impression upon the ventral thecal sac. Could that be causing the headaches? Also there is no mention of an annular bulge at c7-t1. Please let me know. Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Please re-upload the attachment

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I tried to open the attachment but it seems that there is a technical error involved. Could you please reupload the document? Based on that I would definitely provide my inputs.

Let me inform you that any sort of cervical problems (including cervical spondylosis) can precipitate headache. Possibly that explains why you are getting them.

I would await your response.

Brief Answer:
Physical therapy and vertebral traction should help

Detailed Answer:
Yes, this time I could indeed open it. Thanks for this. I have checked both the reports. Indeed there is some worsening from 2016 which correlates with the headache.

A step by step intervention is needed. Physical therapy and vertebral traction should help. Ultrasonotherapy, hot compress, and status neck exercises come prior to that.

Let me know if there is anything else that I could help you with.

Regards
